If you run a small business and you’re trying to
use social media to promote yourself, remember that you have some remarkable
advantages over larger businesses in this regard. Larger businesses have to
navigate the tricky waters of coming up with posts that get people engaged and
maintaining their brand image. For smaller businesses, the fact that you
probably do business in a physical community and there is a face that people
associate with your business can be real advantages. You just have to make sure
you’re using it right.

Bad Stats

There were revealed some facts about social media
that may apply to your business. For instance, a survey referenced in the
article found that 58% of companies that were actively using Facebook didn’t
feel like they were promoting it the way they should be. It is understood that
most small businesses out there probably have a social media profile. Except
for the time invested in making the profile, it is essentially free, at least
from an upfront investment.

The same article, however, shows that 76% of
small businesses surveyed about the matter found that they got positive results
from using social media. A full 78% of the people who responded about their
businesses said they got 25% to 100% of their customers via social media. That
should reveal the power potential in this type of promotion, if you had any
doubts.

How do you go about using it, however? Here are
some creative ways that you can go about using social media to promote your business.
Remember that they do require something of an investment, whether that is in
terms of time or simply offering an incentive to customers who help you out.

Incentivize

There are various ways you can incentivize
using social media. For example, if you happened to run a fitness center, you
could offer a free beverage or some other incentive if people are willing to
check in when they show up for a workout. This helps to get the word out about
your facility, particularly to people who may be friends of some of your
clients but who aren’t particularly interested in following your business. It
gets your name out there and that’s important.

You can also offer an incentive for people to
like your business. This is easy enough to do. If you have regular customers,
clients or a membership driven business, ask them to like you on Facebook as a
way of promoting the business. They are already your customers, so some sense
of loyalty may apply here, particularly if you are a small business and the
person they see behind the counter when they show up is the same person who
owns the business.

Participate

If there are community events that you can
sponsor or participate in, be sure to do so and publicize it on your social
media profiles. You can do this without being overly opportunistic. For
example, if you had employees participating in a charity run, it would be easy
enough to put out a Twitter notice about it and actually promote the event
rather than directly promoting your business. Remember that your business logo
will appear on the tweet, so you get the promotion, anyway.

Make sure your domain is integrated with your
social networking site.WordPress templatesoftentimes have these types of features built right into them, so it’s usually
just a matter of selecting a few check-boxes and settings and preferences. Once
you have this done, you can further integrate your social media so that people
who visit your webpage will see that they can learn more about your business on
social media, where they may discover some very positive things.
